If she were a hungry rat who just got un-stunned and er, un-roped (wow, Aboli), she would probably climb over walls to get to the delicious-looking cheese. Finally, what Aboli said about Headmaster Rosier's intent with this exercise made her heart sink. Right. If their entire plan was to transfigure the rat into a goblet - no harm inflicted on the poor creature at all - they would achieve the goal, but he would be terribly disappointed in them. The last thing they wanted was to disappoint a madman like him.

"You said earlier that one must 'rule by fear', and he liked your answer," she said, looking steadily at the Slytherin. "What if we give the rat a small shock every time it steps closer to the cheese? Make them ... fear the consequence of approaching the cheese."

"Riiight...." he said slowly to Mamie's response to his idea. He had truthfully not thought about that the rat might escape from the top of the box. He scratched the back his head his as he stared blankly at the rat before his expression changed and he send Aboli a disapproving look when she began tying the rat up to prevent it from escaping. He really did not like this activity. It made him feel like their current situation but instead of the rat in the boxed maze THEY were the rats and the Alliance were the ones pulling the strings.

As Irithel spoke and suggested giving the rat shocks , she too got a disapproving look from the Hufflepuff. "I don't really want to hurt ---. i mean i don't like..." he took a deep breath to calm himself down "What about using the befriending charm instead?" He asked looking at the group with an hopeful expression on his face. "Malin Calin? It...works on small animals and..." he seriously did not know where he was going with this but ANYTHING than having to harm the poor creature. He wanted to pick all the rats up and run away. Could he do that?! Sure they worked with animals in other classes such as Transfiguration but this was just ...sick. There was no use to this other than toying with living innocent creatures. He didn't know which was worse. Making sure the rat did not eat the cheese or let the rat eat the cheese which was probably poisoned. "He said to use 'any means ' right? That doesn't mean we have to go dark mode , right?" right ???

Did he not understand they needed to get on the man's good side if they didn't want to be murdered just for being Muggleborns?

"I think the shocking it approach is the right way for this class," she said sadly. "If this was a long term thing...but he...he said logic and kindness took too long and didn't always work. Fear is bad, but..." She didn't want to be the rat in this situation, and maybe torturing the rats would get them out of the rats' situation. And rats were gross. Don't tell Williamson.

She tried to think if there was a way they could reward the rat, too, but...she didn't think rats particularly cared for anything other than cheese. And the cheese was poisoned.

......

Aboli eyed the young Irithel curiously. What a morbid suggestion. "There might be a happy medium between completely ruthless - " she gestured at Irithel, "And .... not," she looked back at Minjae. "And word of advice...sometimes you gotta' hurt someone to keep them alive. Like this guy here. We might have to not be so nice but it's ONLY because we don't want him to eat the cheese and...croak," she sighed a little. Another sad reminder of a decision she had made in her head already. She glanced at Mamie. "Don't say that," she said softly. "You don't think like that, Mamie. You're too young. You should still be thinking...happy things." It made her sad to hear the Hufflepuff agree with the SHOCK method. Pavlov's dogs, though.....

The rat was still all wrapped up in her ropes. Luckily so. She undid the spell and watched the rat suddenly lurch forward, trying to find his way through the maze. "Maybe we'll work better under pressure. Or....we just transfigure the cheese." Back to the old idea. "I can do that easily if need be."
